ISC2 ISSEP Exam - Topic 2 Question 30 Discussion

RTM stands for Requirements Traceability Matrix. A requirements traceability matrix may be used to

check to see if the current project requirements are being met, and to help in the creation of a

Request for Proposal, various deliverable documents, and project plan tasks.

Common usage is to take the identifier for each of the items of one document and place them in the

left column. The identifiers for the other document are placed across the top row. When an item in

the left column is related to an item across the top, a mark is placed in the

intersecting cell. The number of relationships are added up for each row and each column. This

value indicates the mapping of the two items.

Zero values indicate that no relationship exists. It must be determined if one must be made. Large

values imply that the relationship is too complex and should be simplified.

Answer options D, A, and B are incorrect. These are invalid acronyms.
